Bland and Campbell at Bowers

Bowers and Pitsea yesterday announced two new arrivals, Rio Campbell and Jacob Bland signing on. 

Rio was with Cray Wanderers at the start of last season,  playing five times and then heading to Kingstonian, where he made another thirteen appearances. 

He spent some of the 22-23 season with Wingate & Finchley, where he made seven appearances, and some of it with Bowers, where he made five more. He then made a couple of appearances for Wands at the tail end of that campaign, scoring in both of them. The winger played youth football for Chelsea and Watford, before playing both Under 18 and Under 21 football for Swansea City.

Jacob comes in on a dual registration deal with Chelmsford City, after spending last season with Concord Rangers, where he made thirty six appearances. He previously played in our North Division with Great Wakering Rovers, and prior to heading our way was with Southend United, where he played youth and Under 18 football.
